Many university libraries subscribe to dozens of journals in online databases. These databases include citations to articles, abstracts of articles, and, in many cases, the complete full-text or full-image magazine and journal articles.
If only the citation or abstract is available, you will need to check the online catalog to see if the library owns the periodical title. Check the online catalog by "Periodical Title" to see if the magazine, newspaper, or journal you need is available in print.
You can also check the Full-Text Electronic Journal Locator to see whether the title is available in a different online database. If not, you might then want to use the interlibrary loan process. Public schools, public libraries, and academic libraries all provide access to various resources, so be sure to check with your favorite library to find out how you can locate journal articles.
